The Last Guy Confirmed for US Release

via IGN


We had previously only seen a few trailers and screenshots for the unconfirmed The Last Guy, a quirky downloadable title available on the Japanese PlayStation Store. But today on the official PlayStation Blog, Producer Josh Miller made a post confirming The Last Guy for an eventual US release. Set sometime in the future, the Earth has been zapped by a strange purple ray, turning anyone it touches into monsters and zombies. It's your job (as some sort of special zombie from the Himalayan mountains) to lead the panicked masses to safety. The US version of the game will boast 14 levels, more than the original Japanese version.

The Last Guy uses aerial photos from cities around the world like Tokyo, LA and London to create a truly authentic top-down environment. As you collect civilians from inside buildings, you must lead them to an Escape Zone to be picked up by the United Rescue Force, before monsters attack them in the streets.

Although no release date has been given for The Last Guy, Miller notes that it will find its way onto the PlayStation Network soon.
